Authorities are asking the public to help them find three men who robbed a convenience store in northeast Fort Bend County last weekend.

The heist occurred at the Welcome Market in the 15000 block of Beechnut about 9 p.m. Saturday, according to the Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office.

Two masked men, each carrying a shotgun, walked into the store. One of them jumped over the counter and hit a woman who was working as a clerk. He then ripped the drawer from the cash register and grabbed money.

The second man forced customers to the floor and ordered them to give him their wallets. One of the victims was kicked and another was hit in the head with a gun butt.

Some of the other approximately 10 patrons in the store hid from the thieves in the back of the market.

No descriptions of the men were available. However, one of them wore black pants, a black hoodie and a red bandanna over his face. The other man wore gray shorts, a dark-colored shirt and a dark-colored mask over his face.

One of the victims told investigators he saw a third man, described only as black, waiting in a blue Ford Taurus outside the store.

Anyone with information about the case is urged to call the Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office at 281-341-4665.
